IMF crushes the Greek bailout process

IMF Rips Pandora's Box To Shreds, Demands Greek Debt Relief "Far Beyond What Europe Has Been Willing To Consider"


Earlier today, Reuters first leaked that just two weeks after the IMF released its first revised Greek debt sustainability report, one which the Eurogroup desperately tried to squash as it urged for a 30% debt haircut and came hours before the Greek referendum vote giving the Oxi camp hope and crushing Tsipras' carefully laid plan to lose the vote and capitulate with integrity instead of having to capitulate a week later after 17 hours of "mental waterboarding" and have his reputation torn to shreds, the IMF would release a follow up report updating its view on the Greek economy which in just two short weeks of capital controls has utterly imploded.
Just like the first IMF report, which we correctly compared to the opening of a Pandora's box, and with which the IMF also obliterated the careful plans of the Troika, so with this follow up the IMF effectively crushes the glideslope of the latest Greek bailout process barely scraped together on Monday morning and has torn Pandora's box to shreds with the following summary assessment: "Greece’s debt can now only be made sustainable through debt relief measures that go far beyond what Europe has been willing to consider so far."
Yes, debt relief... just the others' debt: not the IMF's, please.
So what just happened?
As of this moment the IMF is telling Greece that if nothing changes, it will die of cancer with 100% certainty; on the other hand the Eurogroup is telling Greece it will die of a heart attack also wih 100% certainty if anything changes.
